Amphenol ICC 86837-110H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 86837-110H is a rectangular connector header from the BERGSTIK® II series, designed for through-hole board-to-board applications with 10 positions at 2.54mm pitch. This component features male pins with solder termination, unshrouded design, and push-pull fastening. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives from active product lines. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across connector type, pitch, position count, mounting method, and electrical ratings to ensure direct replacement capability in existing designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 86837-110H is based on maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Requirements:

Connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and pitch (0.100"/2.54mm) must remain identical
Position count (10) and row configuration (2 rows) must match
Mounting method (Through Hole) and termination (Solder) must be preserved
Fastening type (Push-Pull) and contact shape (Square) must align
Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and insulation color (Black) must be maintained
Insulation height (0.100"/2.54mm) must be consistent

Electrical Compatibility: The original part specifies 5A current rating and 110V voltage rating. Substitute parts from the 3M 929 series provide 2.5A current rating, which represents a reduced electrical capacity. This reduction must be evaluated against application requirements.

Mechanical Variations Permitted: Contact length parameters (mating and post lengths) may vary between substitute parts while maintaining overall form factor compatibility. The 3M 929 series offers multiple post length options (929710-01-05, 929710-06-05-RK, 929710-10-05-RK, 929710-11-05-RK) to accommodate different PCB thicknesses and stacking requirements.

Contact Finish Options: Substitute parts are available with Tin-Lead, Tin, or Gold finishes. Gold-plated variants (929715 series) provide enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin finishes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 929710-01-05-RK or 929710-11-05-RK

The 3M 929710-01-05-RK and 929710-11-05-RK are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete 86837-110H. Both parts maintain full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original connector while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The 929710-01-05-RK provides a post length of 0.110" (2.79mm), suitable for standard PCB thicknesses, while the 929710-11-05-RK offers a post length of 0.125" (3.18mm) for applications requiring slightly extended engagement. Both variants feature Tin contact finish with 200.0µin (5.08µm) thickness and PCT insulation material.

Secondary Recommendation: 929715-01-05-EU or 929715-01-05-I

For applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance, the 929715-01-05-EU and 929715-01-05-I provide Gold contact finish with 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness. These parts maintain identical mechanical dimensions and electrical specifications to the primary recommendations while offering superior contact reliability in corrosive environments. The 929715-01-05-EU uses PCT insulation, while the 929715-01-05-I uses PBT insulation with glass filler.

Alternative for Extended Post Length: 929710-06-05-RK

The 929710-06-05-RK accommodates applications requiring extended post length of 0.710" (18.03mm), suitable for thicker PCBs or applications with significant stacking height requirements. This variant maintains all other compatibility parameters while providing additional mechanical engagement depth.

Current Rating Consideration

All substitute parts from the 3M 929 series provide a current rating of 2.5A, compared to the original 5A rating. Applications operating at currents exceeding 2.5A require circuit redesign or alternative connector selection.

Compliance Status

The 929710-01-05-RK, 929710-06-05-RK, 929710-10-05-RK, 929710-11-05-RK, 929715-01-05-EU, and 929715-01-05-I are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting modern regulatory requirements. The 929710-01-05 and 929710-10-05 are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, limiting their use in regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 929 series connectors directly replace the Amphenol ICC 86837-110H without PCB modifications?

A: Yes, the 3M 929 series connectors maintain identical pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), position count (10), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting type (Through Hole). PCB footprints designed for the 86837-110H are compatible with the substitute parts. However, post length variations between substitute options may affect PCB hole depth requirements. Verify post length specifications against your PCB design.

Q: What is the significance of the different post length options (929710-01-05, 929710-10-05-RK, 929710-11-05-RK, 929710-06-05-RK)?

A: Post length determines the depth of solder engagement on the PCB. The 929710-01-05 and 929710-01-05-RK provide 0.110" (2.79mm) post length for standard PCB thicknesses. The 929710-11-05-RK offers 0.125" (3.18mm) for slightly thicker boards. The 929710-10-05-RK provides 0.175" (4.45mm) for deeper engagement. The 929710-06-05-RK extends to 0.710" (18.03mm) for applications requiring significant stacking height. Select the post length matching your PCB thickness and application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between Tin and Gold contact finishes?

A: Tin-finished contacts (929710 series) provide cost-effective performance in standard environments. Gold-finished contacts (929715 series) offer enhanced corrosion resistance and superior contact reliability in harsh, humid, or corrosive environments. Gold finish thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm) on the 929715 variants exceeds the original 30.0µin (0.76µm) specification, providing extended service life in demanding applications.

Q: Why do substitute parts have a lower current rating (2.5A) compared to the original (5A)?

A: The 3M 929 series is designed with different contact geometry and material composition than the Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II series. The reduced current rating reflects the electrical capacity of the 929 series contact design. Applications requiring currents exceeding 2.5A must either reduce circuit current or select alternative connector families with higher current ratings.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between substitute options?

A: Yes. The 929710-01-05 and 929710-10-05 use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with polyester and glass filler. The 929710-01-05-RK, 929710-06-05-RK, 929710-10-05-RK, and 929710-11-05-RK use Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT). The 929715-01-05-EU uses PCT, while 929715-01-05-I and 929715-03-05-I use PBT. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. PCT offers superior thermal stability, while PBT provides cost efficiency.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and RoHS non-compliant variants?

A: RoHS Compliant parts (929710-01-05-RK, 929710-06-05-RK, 929710-10-05-RK, 929710-11-05-RK, and all 929715 variants) meet Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, eliminating lead and other restricted materials. RoHS non-compliant parts (929710-01-05, 929710-10-05) may contain lead in solder or contact finishes. Use RoHS Compliant variants for applications subject to EU, California, or other regulatory jurisdictions requiring hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Can I use 929715-03-05-I as a direct replacement for the 86837-110H?

A: The 929715-03-05-I maintains all core compatibility parameters but provides a post length of 0.410" (10.41mm), significantly longer than the original 0.120" (3.05mm). This extended post length may not be suitable for standard PCB designs without modification. Use this variant only if your application specifically requires the extended post length for increased stacking height or mechanical engagement.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: All 3M 929 series substitute parts operate across -40°C to 105°C. The original 86837-110H does not specify an operating temperature range. Verify that the -40°C to 105°C range meets your application requirements, particularly for extreme temperature environments.
